- Bio: Edwin Frederick Dahl was a first generation American son of Norwegian immigrants, Olaf Christianson Dahl and Clara Johnson. Edwin was a home builder with numerous skills and talents that he passed on to his children. He married Edith Talia Boe and together they had two children between 1923-1928, Margaret and Claude. In 1931 Edith suffered terribly at the loss of both her parents within the same year, after which she became ill and was hospitalized. Edith died the following spring, a few months after her youngest child, Claude, turned 4. Letters preserved between Edwin and Edith tell of their deep love and devotion to each other. Now without his wife Edwin had to hire housekeepers to help out with home and children. Alice True Larsen was one of the housekeepers he had hired. Seven years after Edith's death Edwin and Alice Dahl married in 1938 in International Falls, MN where they had three children, Travis, Curtis and Trudy. And like his father Curtis was also a home builder. And all was well, until Edwin began to suffer terrible headaches, and eventually in 1946, he had surgery to remove a brain tumor and died at the age of 52 at the Mayo clinic in Rochester Minnesota. Some of his last spoken words were to his son Claude. He said "The headache is gone." He left behind 5 children who would all have families in rather large number, and some of his descendants would bear his qualities, and so his legacy continues.
